This patch adds support for exposing the environment variables
`TOR_PT_OUTBOUND_BIND_ADDRESS_V4` and `TOR_PT_OUTBOUND_BIND_ADDRESS_V6` to
Pluggable Transport proccesses. These two values will contain the IPv4
and IPv6 address that the user have specified in torrc that they wish
the PT to use for all outgoing IP packets.
It is important to note here that it is up to the indvidual Pluggable
Transport if they are willing to honor these values or ignore them
completely.
One can test this feature using the following dummy PT written in POSIX
shell script:
#!/bin/sh
echo "LOG SEVERITY=warning MESSAGE=\"Value for IPv4: ${TOR_PT_OUTBOUND_BIND_ADDRESS_V4}\""
echo "LOG SEVERITY=warning MESSAGE=\"Value for IPv6: ${TOR_PT_OUTBOUND_BIND_ADDRESS_V6}\""
while true ; do
sleep 1
done
with the following entries in your torrc:
OutboundBindAddressPT 203.0.113.4
OutboundBindAddress 203.0.113.5
OutboundBindAddressPT 2001:db8::4
OutboundBindAddress 2001:db8::5

This patch moves the logic for handling outbound addresses in torrc to
before we handle pluggable transports. Since we need access to the
values in OutboundBindAddress and friends for #5304 we have to parse
these values before we spawn any PT's.
This commit is code movement only.

This patch renames the enumeration value in `outbound_addr_t` from
`OUTBOUND_ADDR_EXIT_AND_OR` to `OUTBOUND_ADDR_ANY` since with the
arrival of `OUTBOUND_ADDR_PT` it no longer makes sense to call the
fallback value for "Exit and OR". Instead we rename it to "any".
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/5304
This patch adds a new option to torrc: `OutboundBindAddressPT`. This
option works in the same way as `OutboundBindAddressOR` and
`OutboundBindAddressExit` in that it allows the user to specify which
outbound IP address the user wants the PT to make its connections from.
There is one difference though in that OutboundBindAddressPT will only
be a suggestion for the PT to use since Tor cannot enforce whether or
not the PT actually uses this option for anything.

Style:
- We end our types with _t.
- Use 'static' to declare functions that only exist in a single
module.
Correctness:
- Many tt_...() macros can invoke "goto done;" -- we need to make
sure that all the variables that could get freed are initialized
before any "goto done" is hit, or else we might free an
uninitialized variable.
[This is a squashed patch for ticket 7193, based on taking a "git
diff" for the original branch, then applying it with "git apply
-3". I earlier attempted to squash the branch with "git rebase",
but there were too many conflicts. --nickm]
